With the release of 6.6.8 I have released an updated version of the DYO campaign extension. It is now at version 4.1 and available on the Vasl.info->Extensions website for download. It has the following major changes:

Removed the Steeples overlay which was moved to 6.6.8.vmod.

Added more extensive captured SW for the German/Russian/American/British nationalities covered by the extension. Note that these conceal as the owner's color and have the captured use lowering of ROF, breakdown and elimination numbers on the counters. This is an example of the captured German SW available to the Russian.
28617

Added Entry Area overlays with Text Labels for use in marking them on the board edges.

Added a Skis/Bicycle overlay indicator as a prototype trial effort.

Modified multiple counters with svg images for crisper graphics (driven by the need for such on the captured SW counters).

This extension is focused on providing counters and overlays to support Campaign Game play with an emphasis on DYO type games. It is fully compatible with all scenarios although most of its contents will probably add very little to a small scenario. It comes with a complete User's Guide that can be accessed using the Help menu item in the VASL main map window. Note that rules references to items in Chapter I are present in the User Guide but that chapter has not been released as of this time. If someone has a website that can host a zip file of roughly 3Mb and is willing to freely host the Chapter I rules set please contact me.

A new release of the DYO Extension has been uploaded to the vasl.info web site.

Version 4.4 includes some minor updates and should update automatically if you have a previous version from the vasl.info website. Not sure if that works, but it is supposed to. Look for v4.4 being loaded when you start VASL.

This version makes a few fixes to various counters, adds in the coding for the BoardZoomer extension that allows the overlays to zoom with the underlying boards, adds in two simple range gauges, one colored red for IFT/general related ranges of 8, 12, and 16 hexes and one colored blue for To hit 6 hex increments up to 36 hex ranges on the To Hit table. It also revamps the circled text overlays to incorporate svg graphics for the circles and includes some new turn marker counters.

Fantastic, thanks Alan.
Auto update didn't work for me- done manually.
Cheers
